Peterson Running Club

The Fitness & Sports Center’s Special Programs office has formed a running club which meets 11:30 a.m. Tuesdays behind the Bowling Center at the 5/10K start/finish line. It’s a great way to meet other runners, share your running goals and maybe pick up a tip or two from those more experienced. For more information, call the Special Programs director at 556-3210.

Peterson’s Biggest Losers

Similar to the popular TV reality show, Peterson’s Biggest Losers is year-long program that helps participants create a healthy lifestyle for themselves that includes better nutritional choices and physical activity. The program, which begins Wednesday, February 17, 2010, is a partnership between the Fitness Center and the Health and Wellness Center (HAWC).

Participants earn points for weight loss (weigh-ins are scheduled roughly every two weeks) and for participating in scheduled activities that range from various Fitness Center exercise classes to the HAWC’s nutrition classes. Prizes will be awarded each quarter to the male and female biggest losers of the quarter; at the end of the year, two grand prize winners will be selected from the quarterly winners. Participants must be age 18 or older.
